Wild Is Love is a studio album by Nat King Cole released in 1960 by Capitol Records. It was produced by Lee Gillette and recorded in 1960 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California. The album is a concept album that tells the story of a man in search of love, with arrangements by Ralph Carmichael and the Nelson Riddle orchestra.
The album includes original songs written by the songwriting team of Dave Cavanaugh, Bill Carey, and others, and departs from Cole's usual repertoire to offer a cohesive narrative. The cover shows Cole with a serious expression, reflecting the romantic and sometimes melancholic tone of the album. It reached number 21 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Although not a massive hit, Wild Is Love is notable for being one of Cole's first concept albums. The title track, 'Wild Is Love', became a minor single. The album has been reappraised by later critics for its thematic ambition and the quality of Cole's vocal performances.
